The mean extra-maxillary length of the undamaged teeth of the three fragments is 2.5 mm., equal to that reported by Vaughn (1958:985) for teeth about midway in the postcanine series of Colobomycter.

A shell had hit it a glancing blow, so that the little china figure ...

Convulsions, laryngismus stridulus, ...
